Ajit Agarkar defends Rohit and Kohli from constant criticism after games

Senior Indian batting stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be "assessed" but it would be "silly" to put them on trial in each and every ODI that they play from hereon, chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar said on Friday. On the eve of their return to international cricket against Australia after a seven-month gap, speculation is rife that the two former skippers will be judged on a series to series basis going into the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. "It will be silly to put them on trial for every game. Once they start playing they will be assessed but they are not on trial," Agarkar said at the 'NDTV World Summit'. Reiterating what he said in Ahmedabad after announcing Shubman Gill as new ODI skipper a couple of weeks back, Agarkar once again avoided committing on their selection for an event which is still two years away. "It doesn't mean if they don't get runs in Australia, they would be dropped and similarly if they score three tons in Australia, the

Rohit Sharma credits Dravid's processes for India's Champions Trophy win

Rohit Sharma on Tuesday said India won the Champions Trophy earlier this year following processes established during Rahul Dravid's tenure, crediting the team for buying into the ideology set by the former captain-coach pair. With Rohit and Dravid at the helm, India bounced back from their heartbreak of losing in the final of 2023 ODI World Cup at home to Australia by winning the next two ICC events -- the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. "Look, I love that team, loved playing with them and it's a journey that we were all into, for many years. It's not about one year or two years of work. It was about getting into work from many years," Rohit said during the CEAT Cricket Rating awards here. "We'd come so close of winning that trophy many times but we couldn't just get over the line. That is where everyone decided that we need to do something different and there's two (ways) to look at it." "There's always a thought of doing that and then actually going and doing th

Test cricket is challenging and draining, demands longevity: Rohit Sharma

Reflecting on some aspects of his Test career that he decided to end earlier this year, former India captain Rohit Sharma on Monday said the format is both "challenging and draining" but he learnt to cope with its demands by focussing on preparation. The 38-year-old, who averaged a decent 40.58 for his 4301 runs in 67 Tests, retired from the five-day game in May a year after calling it quits from T20 Internationals, having led India to the World Cup title in the format. On Monday, he looked back at some of that time during a CEAT event while speaking on preparations for big moments during a panel discussion. "It is something that you prepare for, because the game demands longevity," he said. "Especially in the Test format, you have to last for five days. Mentally, it is very challenging and it is draining as well. But all cricketers have been brought up playing First-Class cricket. "When we start playing cricket at a competitive level, even in Mumbai, club cricket (matches) go on
